#BoysAreChanging .... Engage young people to prevent crime like sexual assaults


#BoysAreChanging
As many as 1,614 rapes and 1,456 other sexual assaults were committed by juveniles in the country in 2017, reveal the latest data of the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB).
Over 40,000 juveniles were caught across the country in 2017 for their alleged involvement in various offences, with 72 per cent of them belonging to the age group from 16 to 18 years.
There were 1,614 cases of rape against juveniles in 2017, 1,456 cases of assault on women with intent to outrage their modesty and 46 cases of attempt to rape, among others, the NCRB said.The government had in 2015 passed the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, which provides for the trial of juveniles in the age group of 16 to 18 years as adult if involved in heinous offences.

बलात्कार और हिंसा की घटनाओं ने भारत की छवि को नुकसान पहुंचाया है. Hyderabad Rape Case में एक Veterinary Doctor के साथ सामूहिक बलात्कार कर उसे ज़िंदा जला दिया गया. हालांकि तेलंगाना पुलिस ने वक्त रहते चारों आरोपियों को गिरफ्तार कर लिया. लेकिन जब घटनाओं के पुनर्निर्माण के लिए उन्हें अपराध स्थल पर ले जाया गया, तब उन्होंने भागने की कोशिश की जिसके चलते एनकाउंटर में तेलंगाना पुलिस ने उन्हें मार गिराया. साल 2012 में हुए Nirbhaya Rape Case ने भी पुरे देश को झकझोर के रख दिया था. यही नहीं Unnao में 23 वर्षीय लड़की के साथ भी सामूहिक बलात्कार हुआ था, जिसे आरोपियों द्वारा ज़िंदा आग के हवाले कर दिया गया, जब वो कोर्ट कि सुनवाई के लिए अदालत जा रही थी. National Crime Records Bureau के आंकड़ों के अनुसार, लड़कियों या महिलाओं के साथ बलात्कार के मामले पिछले 17 सालों में दोगुना हो गए हैं। हालांकि, निर्भया मामले के बाद, सरकार ने मौजूदा कानून में संशोधन किया और इसे और कठोर बना दिया, जिसमें बलात्कार के दोषी की सजा को दोगुना तक बढ़ा कर 20 साल कर दी गई. देखें देश में बढ़ते बलात्कार की वारदातों पर, तनु उपाध्याय, वरिष्ठ पुलिस अधिकारी, मनोहर लाल शर्मा, अधिवक्ता और सुनील वात्स्यायन, समाज सुधारक के साथ बड़ी बहस 'ख़बरों का पंचनामा' में अनुराग वर्मा के साथ...
Delhi stood third on the list with an 8.8 per cent share in overall juvenile crimes in the country.The national capital registered 2,965 cases in 2017, an upward trend from 2016 when it lodged 2,499 cases and 2015 when it filed 2,366 FIRs, according to the data.

Student Suicides and Why Young Voices Must Be at the Center

....This shift in narrative is important: it reflects the world we want — where  young professionals are trusted for their sensitivity and fresh perspective , and where treatment begins with  trust, compassion, and dignity , not fear or coercion.... World Mental Health Day– October 10, 2025 Recently, the leadership of Nada India Foundation met actor Amol Parashar in Delhi. We appreciated his courage in taking on socially responsive roles in web series such as  Gram Chikitsalay   and the live performance Besharam Aadmi . These performances stood out because they did not shy away from difficult truths — about stigma, dignity, and the shift from inner monologues of silence to open dialogues about the everyday realities of mental health. But while art can inspire, the reality we face as young people today is heartbreaking. According to NCRB data , student suicides in India have risen by 34% in 2023 compared to 2019 . Behind these numbers are not just statistics but ...

Owning Knowledge, Owning Action – My Journey from Social Work to Law through RTI and COTPA

Owning Knowledge, Owning Action – My Journey from Social Work to Law through RTI and COTPA  If I had to name one thing that Nada India Foundation and Suneel Sir have permanently etched into my heart, it would be this: Ownership of Knowledge. This isn’t about collecting facts like stamps in an album. It’s about holding knowledge in your hands, understanding it deeply, making it a part of your thinking, and — most importantly — putting it into action. I first learned this lesson in my social work days, and I’ve carried it everywhere since — right into the heart of my legal journey. From Social Work to the Law Books During my undergraduate and postgraduate studies in social work, I worked on issues ranging from youth awareness to substance abuse prevention . Those days taught me that knowledge without application is like a library that’s never opened. When I transitioned into law school, I didn’t leave my social work instincts behind. I chose law as a career because it was another ...
